The purpose of these articles is to help experienced players futher their knowledge and understanding of the great clan that is the Phoenix. The important point of these articles is not the points that are made, but the way of thinking about the cards - thinking analytically about the card choices is a good way to build better decks :-)

If you have any comments or questions please do not hesitate to email Samoshii or Isawa Jon. It`ll be our pleasure to answer you.
